So yeah. It’s been an INTERESTING last couple of weeks here on BONG STREET. I have had a bit of time to re-evaluate things. Overall things are looking on the up and up though.

First off, I got canned from my day job a few weeks ago. Its a good thing though. My energy was screaming for me to leave. I could go into a shpeal about how my immediate manager warned me if I was to write about this job in my blog or on my website, legal actions would be pursued. I started to write about it, but I would rather take this in a positive direction and not waste anymore energy on you or even thinking about that mindless fucking job. I got better things to do with my time. PEACE OUT!

So after that just been coming together with my resources and putting a lot of time into this catalog which is nearly wrapped up and ready to go on the road. Moving forward as planned.

Bong Street Van

(In case you haven’t seen my van, ITS A TANK…its not hard to see, is it?)

“A RUDE AWAKENING”

BUT within the days that I was working on this “I WAS AWOKEN BY A LOUD FUCKING BANG!!!”. It was on a Saturday morning. I had stayed up late at a buddies house in PB the night before so I decided to just the leave the van where it was parked and sleep their for the night. That was a mistake. “Fuckin looney ass drivers!”. So yeah, at 6:30 am on Saturday while im sleeping on my bed in the back of my vehicle, some dude passes out at the wheel and proceeds to crash into the rear driverside of my vehicle. He wasn’t drunk supposedly.

I wake up like a bat out of hell, first thing i’m thinking, get the guys plates, since this is PB and drunks hit and run all the time down there. I got the guys plates. Noone was hurt but his car was fucked. Mine looked mildly damaged on the outside but his front wheel was hanging off of his axle. I figured I should start the car just to test my alignment.

It turns out he hit my van so hard in the back that he destroyed the gearbox which controls the steering. Of course the dude didn’t have a valid license or insurance so I dealt with it on my own insurance just to get it handled. I am working on re-couping my deductible from the guy. Hopefully he comes thru on his end.

So long story short I was kicked out of the van for a few days while I had to wait for an adjustor to come out from my insurance company to look at the vehicle. Luckily, I got a free rental car while I was waiting to get my vehicle back from the shop. I was buzzing around town in a Honda for a week. Pretty fun on the turns and quite speedy but not the same “homey” feeling you get from the Bong Street van.

Now that I got that taken care of, like I said I am just wrapping up the printing on the catalog and then its “GO” Time.

I will probably spend the first few days in the San Diego area making sure I have my bases covered and have hit up all the local retail. After that I will move forward NORTH, into the Los Angeles Area and then up to San Francisco, and then Humboldt if all goes well and if I have enough gas money…I will try to keep this blog updated as I travel up the state.

Until then just sit back and enjoy the experience!!!

Never gets OLD...Sunset Cliffs

Continued…(9/21-10/15)

So its been a chillaxidated last couple of weeks since I updated this. I am actually enjoying this living out of the van thing quite well believe it or not. There is a few inconveniences I could do without, but overall I am making the BEST out of it. Still addicted to the Cliffs…Its too relaxing. It keeps attracting me there like a vortex. It’s not quite Sedona, but it has a certain magic of its own. Great place for musical inspiration. I love to play my guitar there or write lyrics.

Overall, I haven’t had too many crazy experiences. Ok, well maybe a few. But only so much that I can talk about on this. Just been smokin some good herbs and hangin with good peeps. Meeting some new people here and there. I have been saving a bit of money that I am using to put into the company. I got 1500 stickers on the way. Expect to see these slapped up around your town soon. Especially if you live in California.

I will be saving money for about another month or so I can make this trip across California before the end of the year. Bong Street will be rolling all the way to HUMBOLDT!!! So keep an eye out for us anywhere in between. This is about the movement and I will do everything in my power to keep it moving.

Ran into some random cool cats I know here in SD that picked up some gear. Its always good to run into like-minded people that are not afraid to speak out to make change.

Also met new heads while chillin in OB. I met a dude that came up to my van when I was blazin and knocked on the side. Kind of spooked me at first, but I think I spooked him more when he realized that I was in it and I rolled down the window. We bullshitted and smoked. He ended up grabbin a tee for his buddy cause I guess he just broke the guys bong. Not a bad start. I hooked him up with the “word is b0ng” style. We both saw it fitting considering the situation.

This wasn’t from recently but I love it, so here it is…Much mOre to cOMe!!! Until then KEEP THE MOVEMENT MOVIN and STAY GOOD AND BLAZED!!!
